The current purpose of Burswood Park Board is to:
- bring families together for active and/or passive recreation
- promote the peninsula to local and international tourists
- support groups, their events and their cause.
We encourage and welcome groups of all sizes to use the park accordingly, subject to the relevant terms and conditions.
